Very good tasting!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this the other day. Since I am so busy in the morning getting ready for work and I’m not much of a hungry person in the morning I have started to substitute my breakfast with these shakes and they work out so perfect!! They taste so good and make me have that full feeling completely! I love these!! So fast and easy and recyclable also!!!

I need tubs I can recycle

My whole family drinks Instant Breakfast. My kids and husband drink the chocolate, I drink the vanilla. We drink so much of it, we need bigger containers! The blue tub is a #5 in recycling, and my town no longer recycles these. Any news on using the Loop packaging on Instant Breakfast?

Very Berry!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my child who loves fried chicken tenders and mac and cheese WAY too much. I figured with 10g of protein and a bunch of other stuff it would be great. She said it was “ea, ok”. I tried it and it is overly berry for my taste.

Great tasting drink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had tried this product in the past and forgot that i liked them. The chocolate is rich but not over the top and not too sweet. I shared it with my son as these drinks have a lot of vitamins in them. He liked it too

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by how good this tastes. My mom use to drink these & I remember them not tasting this good! I will be using this product more in the near future. I don’t like to eat breakfast so this will be my go to now.

It's been a life saver!

My brother was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer in 2020. Needless to say it was an extremely difficult year for all of us. Nothing prepares you for watching your only sibling battle such a brutal disease. After an entire year of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and endless doctor appointments he was fighting just to keep his weight up. These have been a saving grace when it comes to getting him proper nutrition. He can't stand the taste of the nutritional drinks they offer at the hospital and chemo makes it hard to stomach real food. I now buy these every week when I go to visit him and his two little boys, who love these drinks also! Thank you for making such a wonderful product, it has truly been a life saver!

Smooth, indulgent drink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a long time consumer of the Carnation Breakfast essentials packets, so was excited to try another variation. I was a little hesitant to try it as it is a shelf stable drink like any other breakfast shake and the taste varies big time by brand. I decided to refrigerate my drink before trying it. It tastes like a shake I'd buy at the drive through! It has a smooth, rich taste. Who doesn't love a chocolate treat for breakfast that is giving you some of the nutrients you need to start your day.It keeps me satisfied for a decent amount of time as well.

Best flavor!!

My husband has been drinking classic chocolate malt for 50 years. They stopped several years ago selling it in stores close to home so that is when I started ordering it on line. I went to reorder and realized it has been discontinued. Please bring it back..

Excellent for weight gain

I'm a type one diabetic that has trouble keeping weight on. My nutritionist recommend that I drink three glasses of the Carnation Breakfast Essentials a day. I've been doing this every day for the last 6 months. I have gained weight as my doctors has requested and I am very grateful to Nestle for this drink. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

So good! I love them.

To me most of the nutrition drinks I've tried are chalky and don't taste very good. However, these are so smooth and taste great, i really like them. I am a bit disappointed though,my favorite flavor is the cookies and cream, but I can't find it anywhere. To me, the chocolate is just not as good.
